This is an old book (about 30 years old). I bought it when I first lived alone for school. It's a beginner's cookbook with detailed, photo-illustrated instructions. There is a tear on the cover that I repaired with tape, but the tape has deteriorated with age. There is also dirt on the book cover. I believe it will be fine if you remove the cover, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about this. - Title: Orange Page Okazu 1st Grader - Series: Orange Page - Genre: Cookbook - Price: 980 yen (excluding tax) - Features: Rich in recipes and suitable for beginners
